    "Posting on Behalf of User Penguino"


    I am looking for a bit of advice which you might be able to help me with.

    I am looking to get a few gaps in my teeth fixed but don't know that first thing about it. I have a few pictures of the teeth but can't seem to attach them to this message. Can I send them to you by some other means?

    Thanks

    i would say get an ortho opinion first, close the gaps from 3<-->3, maybe bring the 4's forward (or 5's if poss). mainly because of the lack of canine guidance, which is the first thing that stood out.

    Looks like an orthodontic case to me, other option may be 6 veneers but I would rather ortho if it was me....

    Hi there

    it should be straightforward to close the gaps with braces and give a good result

    Hey Day Dreamer

    Do you have any experience with the 6 month brace treatment? Otherwise would I be looking at a two year stint with braces?

    Hi penguino

    I cant say how long your treatment will take without a closer look.

    We have a had a lot of stuff on boards about 6 month braces recently. I would advise you to go to a specialist and discuss all your options www.orthodontics.ie Usually those who advertise 6 month braces are not orthodontists and have not got specialist qualifications in braces.
